1337x.to has an internal search, and so long as you’re getting magnet links to .avi files (or other pure media files) there is very low risk of anything. Download through a VPN if your country cares about that. I use qbittorrent as the application for downloading.

Good luck!

Have you used torrents before?

Can someone track down the source of this meme? It seems absurd on the face of it.

Perhaps the baby elephants are extremely light, has anyone checked in on them?

Heavens to Betsy

Any moderate support for a non-US aligned capitalist country as well

I can’t believe anyone would enforce class interests with violence, instead of debating tenants out of houses they’re in arrears for. Smh

I’m going to be honest, I do feel a little baffled but maybe that’s because I didn’t vibe with tik tok.

I think the pros are probably responsiveness and uptime (compared to fediverse things). Even now, hexbear goes down for one reason or another, to say nothing of back when we were the biggest lemmy instance (sorry Des, god that was a while ago), and setting up a new server is something that the vast majority of people don’t want to do (especially compared to just signing up for an account). I think this is especially the case if you mostly consume video. While peertube (and others?) does exist, video is still pretty big per second of content, meaning that sort of continuous scroll video is a big ask for a small private server.

Compared to Facebook or Twitter or whatever, its unlikely that a Chinese spy is going to rat your weed ring out to American feds, unlike Facebook or Twitter (which routinely co-operate with American cops, no warrant).

Lastly, network effect, which is the big one. If the big creators you follow (idk what tiktok is like) go somewhere, you’re going to follow them (well, not you, fellow lemmy person, but you know who I’m talking about). And your preference is that all your big creators go to the same place rather than to a dozen fediverse instances. Not that it would be insurmountable, but it would be a bigger ask.

Specific oligarchs may still be an effect (Zuck or Musk are not necessarily the most popular people).

One of my favourite (?) conspiracy theories locally is regarding any left wing policy or social action. Like, you can just go to the meetings bro. Socialist alliance or whatever are super keen for new active members. You can literally go see how they make decisions.

Obviously, the sort of person that makes these sorts of claims aren’t actually looking to be convinced of any truth.

This reminds me of that

I’m hiding a homeless person in my home, which is risking eviction to keep someone off the streets. Here, most tenancies don’t allow you to “sublet”, the landlord legally gets the final say about who lives in their property.

For zionists, at least, that has been true for a very long time >.>

For whatever reason, I’ve seen fascists try to claim they are not fascists because they haven’t done anything yet or are not close to the levers of power.

I found I couldn’t do it. I have a set of traumas that means I go into a weird fugue state where I massively undercharge by an order of magnitude and take on every liability. I think it’s some sort of rejection dissociation thingy, or like just trying to end the situation as quickly as possible. This meant I had made very little money and promised a lot, and also came to hate my hobby.

Now that I have a job, the stakes are much lower, I get regular pay, and I also pretty much never have to negotiate directly with clients.

It took a really long time to get that job though, given that job searching also requires skills I do not have

I remember for quite a while, the only thing keeping me going was spite. The worst people in the country wanted me dead (or at least starving in the street), so I had to keep hanging on or they’d win

I’m not entirely sure what it means enough to give a summary.

The first usage that pops into my mind is when someone has said a silly joke regarding your situation and you want to acknowledge the joke but also move on quickly.

Second usage is someone has suggested something, you want to say you understand but you have a different opinion.
